During these years I have received several children’s drawings that I turned them into softies. Every drawing was a nice surprise for me because children have the ability to draw something ordinary (ex. rabbit, owl) in the most creative way. Their drawings are so special because they do not have our mind illustrating rules!!! It is the creative expression that lets children tap into the magic of their own imagination and just enjoy the process.

Here is an example of what I am talking about.

I was assigned to make from two drawings, two softies which where intended to be given as birthday gifts. Check them out

Here is a cat and a worm drawing!

and here are my handmade softies inspired by these special drawings.

First, the cat softie.

size: 45cm x 22cm

Details:

Second, the worm softie.

size:27cm x45cm

Details:

These softies are made with high quality fleece and they are stuffed with fiber fill. All their parts (inside and out) are double sewed. Quality is very important to me and I pay attention in every detail.

This is a excellent birthday gift idea! Don’t you think? You will not find a similar softie to any mass production store and remember that it will be made from your kid’s design.

But, I guess the hard part is to choose which drawing to send me 😉 And then I will take from there…

This Christmas I had the opportunity to make two more softies from children drawings.

The first drawing was an “Owl” and the second one was a “Dancing Kid” ( I call it like that because of its shape) !!!

I liked very much these figures and the next thing was to examine all the drawing details..

— The Owl has a crown, a blue cape, something like a collar and last but not least a tether!!!
Can you see a black line at right bottom, near the leg? Yeap, that is a tether!!!

— Now lets see what the “Dancing Kid” has! Check out his eyes, they look in different directions. I love its black freckles and his blouse with the funny logo face!!
His body is rather slim and flexible that’s why I call him “Dancing Kid”!!!!

These are super amazing drawings but also very demanding in details!!!!

I’ve better start working ….

Ready for shipping

Both dolls are made with fleece so they are soft and squeezable.

They measure approximate 15”inches (38cm) tall.

With lovely gift wrapping!!!

And finally delivered to the amazing artists who made the drawings!!!

They look satisfied. What do you think?

I know that these softies found the best hugs ever.

Making custom dolls is my favorite thing and when I see these cute adorable faces with my softies really makes my day!!! LOVE you guys!!!
